Salesforce and Anthropic are expanding their strategic partnership with the launch of "Claudeforce," an AI sales tool that Salesforce CEO Marc Benioff describes as providing a "dynamic interface for thinking, reasoning, and acting." This plugin will allow sales professionals to access key data directly within Anthropic's Claude chatbot and perform 37 pre-built sales skills, such as drafting emails and updating records. Anthropic's annualized revenue run rate reached $65 billion by the end of July, a sevenfold increase year-over-year. Claudeforce is currently available to select pilot customers, with a preview release planned for next month.
